This is a pivotal episode. The battle is intense, the losses are real, and the historical weight is palpable. Fusou and Yamashiro's decommissioning is a powerful moment two beloved battleships walking away from the war. But the episode's pacing is a mess. The action is breakneck, then it grinds to a halt, then it speeds up again. And the emotional impact doesn't quite land the way it should. You know this is supposed to be tragic, but you don't feel it the way you should.
